Question

How would I find Civil Service records for Malcolm Henry Pate, my grandfather?

Comments

All that I know for sure is that he worked at Pensacola N.A.S, probably during World War II. He may or may not have worked there during Vietnam and Korean Wars.

Answer 1

It does cost depends on the size of his records.  Try fold3.com first it may help you narrow down what you are looking for.

Answer 2

If he was a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy and retired from Civil Service, you may be able to get a few leads from this page:

I haven't tried it personally and can't really vouch for its usefulness, but good luck!

I did not find any information about my grandfather, Malcolm Henry Pate, civil service records. It may be due to the government shutdown.
